1. Today, on the Christian History Almanac, Dan is back and heads to the mailbag to answer a question about church history and his recent travels.
  2. Satan Drives Out Satan? In this episode, we dig deep into Jesus’ question, Can Satan drive out Satan? With the help of Rene Gerard’s book, I Saw Satan Fall Like Lightening. This episode goes into some extremely deep waters regarding the mimetic tradition, the nature of sacrifice, scapegoating, Satan’s power, and Jesus’ crucifixion.
  3. This is our monthly book club episode, where we discuss "Giants in the Earth" by O.E. Rölvaag. This novel was originally written in Norwegian, and translated to English in the 1920s.
  4. Today on the Almanac, we remember Holy Cross day and discuss the origins and development of the Cross/Crucifix.
  5. Your sins are forgiven, now get up and walk. Which is easier to say?
  6. Take a break from wailing at your own personal wailing wall made up of unfulfilled dreams, cold-hearted gods, and broken relationships. Pull the tab on a Schlitz and sit down for some yucking it up, and little Holy Spirit! We’ll buy this one: just relax.
  7. Israel cries out to God, to remember his promises.
  8. On this day, we remember Berenger of Tours and Lazzaro Spallanzani. The reading is "Deathbed" by Evangeline Paterson.
